For each one, auditors require a threefold approach to determine the reasonableness of cutoff:
1. Decide on the appropriate criteria for cutoff.
2. Evaluate whether the client has established adequate procedures to ensure a reasonable cutoff.
3. Test whether the cutoff was correct.
a. Sales Cutoff - Most merchandising and manufacturing clients record a sale based on shipment of
goods criterion. However, some companies record invoices at the time title passes, which can occur
before shipment, at the time of shipment, or subsequent to shipment. For the correct measurement of
current period income, the method must be in accordance with accounting standards and consistently
applied.
The most important part of evaluating the client’s method of obtaining a reliable cutoff is to determine the
procedures in use. When a client issues pre-numbered shipping documents sequentially, it is usually a
simple matter to evaluate and test cutoff. Moreover, the segregation of duties between the shipping and
the billing function also enhances the likelihood of recording transactions in the proper period. However,
if shipments are made by company truck, if the shipping records are unnumbered, and if shipping and
billing department personnel are not independent of each other, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to be
assured of an accurate cutoff.
When the client’s internal controls are adequate, auditors can usually verify the cutoff by obtaining the
shipping document number for the last shipment made at the end of the period and comparing this number
with current and subsequent period recorded sales. As an illustration, assume the shipping document
number for the last shipment in the current period is 1489. All recorded sales before the end of the period
should bear a shipping document number preceding number 1490, and no sales recorded and shipped in
the subsequent period should have a bill of lading numbered 1489 or lower. An auditor can easily test this
by comparing recorded sales with the related shipping documents for the last few days of the current
period and the first few days of the subsequent period.
b. Sales Returns and Allowances Cutoff Accounting standards require that sales returns and
allowances be matched with related sales if the amounts are material. For example, if current period
shipments are returned in the subsequent period, the sales return should appear in the current period. (The
returned goods should be treated as current period inventory.) For most companies, however, sales returns
and allowances are recorded in the accounting period in which they occur, under the assumption of
approximately equal, offsetting amounts at the beginning and end of each accounting
period. This approach is acceptable as long as the amounts are not material. Some companies establish a
reserve, similar to the allowance for uncollectible accounts, for the expected amount of returns in the
subsequent period.
When the auditor is confident that the client records all sales returns and allowances promptly, the cutoff
tests are simple and straightforward. The auditor can examine supporting documentation for a sample of
sales returns and allowances recorded during several weeks subsequent to the closing date to determine
the date of the original sale. If auditors discover that the amounts recorded in the subsequent period are
significantly different from unrecorded returns and allowances at the beginning of the period under audit,
they must consider an adjustment. For example, a company may experience an increase in sales returns
when it launches a new product.
In addition, if the internal controls for recording sales returns and allowances are evaluated as ineffective,
a larger sample is needed to verify cutoff.
c.Cash Receipts Cutoff For most audits, a proper cash receipts cutoff is less important than either the
sales or the sales returns and allowances cutoff because the improper cutoff of cash affects only the cash
and the accounts receivable balances, not earnings. Nevertheless, if the misstatement is material, it can
affect the fair presentation of these accounts, especially when cash is a small or negative balance. It is
easy to test for a cash receipts cutoff misstatement (often called holding the cash receipts book open) by
tracing recorded cash receipts to subsequent period bank deposits on the bank statement. If a delay of
several days exists, that could indicate a cutoff misstatement.
To some degree, auditors may also rely on the confirmation of accounts receivable to uncover cutoff
misstatements for sales, sales returns and allowances, and cash receipts. However, it is often difficult to
distinguish a cutoff misstatement from a normal timing difference due to shipments and payments in
transit at year end. For example, if a customer mails and records a check to a client for payment of an
unpaid account on December 30 and the client receives and records the amount on January 2, the records
of the two organizations will be different on December 31. This is not a cutoff misstatement, but a timing
difference due to the delivery time. It may be difficult for the auditor to evaluate whether a cutoff
misstatement or a timing difference occurred when a confirmation reply is the source of information. This
type of situation requires additional investigation, such as inspection of supporting documents.

For each one.docx

  • 1. For each one, auditors require a threefold approach to determine the reasonableness of cutoff: 1. Decide on the appropriate criteria for cutoff. 2. Evaluate whether the client has established adequate procedures to ensure a reasonable cutoff. 3. Test whether the cutoff was correct. a. Sales Cutoff - Most merchandising and manufacturing clients record a sale based on shipment of goods criterion. However, some companies record invoices at the time title passes, which can occur before shipment, at the time of shipment, or subsequent to shipment. For the correct measurement of current period income, the method must be in accordance with accounting standards and consistently applied. The most important part of evaluating the client’s method of obtaining a reliable cutoff is to determine the procedures in use. When a client issues pre-numbered shipping documents sequentially, it is usually a simple matter to evaluate and test cutoff. Moreover, the segregation of duties between the shipping and the billing function also enhances the likelihood of recording transactions in the proper period. However, if shipments are made by company truck, if the shipping records are unnumbered, and if shipping and billing department personnel are not independent of each other, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to be assured of an accurate cutoff. When the client’s internal controls are adequate, auditors can usually verify the cutoff by obtaining the shipping document number for the last shipment made at the end of the period and comparing this number with current and subsequent period recorded sales. As an illustration, assume the shipping document number for the last shipment in the current period is 1489. All recorded sales before the end of the period should bear a shipping document number preceding number 1490, and no sales recorded and shipped in the subsequent period should have a bill of lading numbered 1489 or lower. An auditor can easily test this by comparing recorded sales with the related shipping documents for the last few days of the current period and the first few days of the subsequent period. b. Sales Returns and Allowances Cutoff Accounting standards require that sales returns and allowances be matched with related sales if the amounts are material. For example, if current period shipments are returned in the subsequent period, the sales return should appear in the current period. (The returned goods should be treated as current period inventory.) For most companies, however, sales returns and allowances are recorded in the accounting period in which they occur, under the assumption of approximately equal, offsetting amounts at the beginning and end of each accounting period. This approach is acceptable as long as the amounts are not material. Some companies establish a reserve, similar to the allowance for uncollectible accounts, for the expected amount of returns in the subsequent period. When the auditor is confident that the client records all sales returns and allowances promptly, the cutoff tests are simple and straightforward. The auditor can examine supporting documentation for a sample of sales returns and allowances recorded during several weeks subsequent to the closing date to determine the date of the original sale. If auditors discover that the amounts recorded in the subsequent period are significantly different from unrecorded returns and allowances at the beginning of the period under audit, they must consider an adjustment. For example, a company may experience an increase in sales returns when it launches a new product.
  • 2. In addition, if the internal controls for recording sales returns and allowances are evaluated as ineffective, a larger sample is needed to verify cutoff. c.Cash Receipts Cutoff For most audits, a proper cash receipts cutoff is less important than either the sales or the sales returns and allowances cutoff because the improper cutoff of cash affects only the cash and the accounts receivable balances, not earnings. Nevertheless, if the misstatement is material, it can affect the fair presentation of these accounts, especially when cash is a small or negative balance. It is easy to test for a cash receipts cutoff misstatement (often called holding the cash receipts book open) by tracing recorded cash receipts to subsequent period bank deposits on the bank statement. If a delay of several days exists, that could indicate a cutoff misstatement. To some degree, auditors may also rely on the confirmation of accounts receivable to uncover cutoff misstatements for sales, sales returns and allowances, and cash receipts. However, it is often difficult to distinguish a cutoff misstatement from a normal timing difference due to shipments and payments in transit at year end. For example, if a customer mails and records a check to a client for payment of an unpaid account on December 30 and the client receives and records the amount on January 2, the records of the two organizations will be different on December 31. This is not a cutoff misstatement, but a timing difference due to the delivery time. It may be difficult for the auditor to evaluate whether a cutoff misstatement or a timing difference occurred when a confirmation reply is the source of information. This type of situation requires additional investigation, such as inspection of supporting documents.
